The market's visibility to early quality issues has never been greater and will continue to accelerate. The extensive awareness creates opportunities for the prepared enterprise, and substantial risks for those slow to react.

Plas-Fit, a manufacturer of top quality pipe fittings and advanced plastic products in Israel and Europe, has announced that it has published over 14,000 CAD files of mechanical and hydraulic parts on the TraceParts CAD content platform.

The 150 Series PN16 product line, which is used to connect different types of pipe, and the Super-Fit Series, which features tee and elbow fittings in different sizes for connecting to Manifolds, air valves/gaskets and filters, are now available online in over 60 CAD formats. The Hot water and 150 Series PN16 are also available in Revit format.

Plas-Fit has chosen to outsource the modeling process for its products so that they can be made available in 3D. Noam Kompano, CAD/BIM modeling engineer at Plas-Fit, suggested the TraceParts solution for completing the rest of the project.

“When I was working on creating 3D models of Plas-Fit products, that’s why I instantly suggested TraceParts for uploading their product catalog, because I knew that it would match their innovation and communication objectives,” Kompano says.

The element that tipped Plas-Fit’s choice in favor of the TraceParts solution was the prospect of reaching out to new markets in Europe by giving its products greater exposure. The company wanted to offer an additional service to their customers and prospects, explains Iris Harpaz, projects and marcom manager at Plas-Fit:

“One of the services involves providing access to our technical data and 3D files on the TraceParts platform to help hydraulic engineering planners with their designs,” Harpaz says.

TraceParts is a provider of 3D digital content for engineering. As part of the Trace Group founded in 1990, the company provides web-based solutions, such as CAD part libraries, electronic catalogs and product configurators.
